Grant and Amy Mitsch Trophy

In 1978, the Board of Directors approved adistinguished award for the best three-stem exhibit ofan unnamed seedling standard daffodil shown by theraiser in the National show. This award isdistinguished by honoring America’s greatest daffodilhybridizer. Mr. Mitsch believed that a “maiden”bloom of a seedling might not show the true worth ofthe seedling. An exhibit of three stems would givemore convincing evidence of what the cultivar hasdone over a period of several years. Dr. and Mrs. TomThrockmorton asked for the privilege of giving theaward, which Mrs. Marie Bozievich created. Shechose the silver chalice design because of the devoutapproach to life of both Grant and Amy Mitsch.

Wilson andLionel Richardson in Ireland, buying bulbs from them, and reading publications on daffodilculture and breeding. While still in his teen years, Harry exhibited and won awards in the GardenClub of Virginia daffodil shows.

From 1959 until 1969 Harry collected and tabulated the findings and opinions of othergrowers in the form of an annual symposium. This, and his annual “Accent on Novelties,” waspublished in The Daffodil Journal, and read by many novice daffodil growers.
